A book review should be more than just a plot summary. It should let the reader know how the reviewer feels about the book, and specifics are always important. It might say something about what's so great about the book that makes it better than the other millions of books that are out there!
A review that talks about author's craft, gives some context, places the book within a historical perspective, or draws interesting connections will truly work to persuade a reader to accept the reviewer's perspective.
